DESPERADO-Glenn Frey/Don Henley 4/4 1234 12 (without intro)

Intro: | | | | |

Despe-rado, why don't you come to your senses? You been out ridin' fences for so long now

Oh, you're a hard one, but I know that you got your reasons,

These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you some -how

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy, she'll beat you if she's able,

You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table

But you only want the ones you can't get

p.2. Desperado

Despe-rado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger, your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home

And freedom, oh, freedom, well, that's just some people talkin'

Your prison is walkin' through this world all a-lone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time? The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine

It's hard to tell the night time from the day

You're losin' all your highs and lows, ain't it funny how the feelin' goes a-way

Despe-rado, why don't you come to your senses, come down from your fences, open the gate

It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you

You better let some-body love you, ("let some-body love you")

You better let some-body love you..... be-fore it's too late
